Overlapping the Echo Barrier Panels
When installing Echo Barrier panels either horizontally or
vertically, the attachments should be made via the eyelets
at the top left-hand or top right-hand corners of each panel.
The non-acoustic border of each Echo Barrier panel
should overlap (Figure 8) the non-acoustic border of the
adjacent Echo Barrier panel. This will serve to maximize
noise reduction. As further Echo Barrier panels are added
to create a barrier of a suitable size/configuration, they
should also be overlapped.
Figure 8. Overlapping Panels
Folding the Echo Barrier Panels
Echo Barrier panels are flexible and can be folded to
match the shape of the supporting structure. Whether fitted
vertically or horizontally, Echo Barrier panels can be folded
around corners to create an unbroken barrier for maximum
noise reduction.
FITTING KITS
Echo Barrier's fitting kits (Figure 9) contain all the necessary
components to optimize the installation and removal of the
acoustic panels.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
NOTICE
For proper installation, the manufacturer recommends
one hook and two bungees per Echo Barrier panel,
plus one additional hook for the last panel.
EXAMPLE: A 100-panel installation requires:
100 panels × 2 = 200 bungees
100 panels × 1 = 100 hooks + 1 add'l hook = 101 hooks
Dedicated kits are available for:
„ Standard installation
„ The creation of a vertical acoustic curtain or for
extra-secure fixing. This kit includes Buffalo Bolts.
NOTICE
The recommended safe working vertical load for an
M16 Buffalo Bolt is 364 lb. (165 kg). See Table 2.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE
For more detailed instructions, refer to the Installation
Instructions included with your Echo Barrier panels.
1. Install a hook on the supporting structure (e.g. fencing).
2. Hold the Echo Barrier panel against the structure.
3. Place the hook through the top eyelet at either the
left-hand corner or the right-hand corner of the
Echo Barrier panel.
4. With the Echo Barrier panel hanging temporarily from
a single hook, install a second hook on the fixing
structure.
5. Attach the panel to this second hook, using the top
eyelet located at the opposite corner of the panel.
6. The panel, now hanging from two hooks, should be
fully supported and hanging square.
7. Fix the next Echo Barrier panel in the same manner,
using the hook installed in Step 4 for the left-hand or
right-hand eyelet of the new panel.
8. The borders of the panels should overlap.
